Before digital cameras there were automatic cameras. Before that, manual. Before that? . . .Daguerreotypes

Come learn about this early form of photography at the Daguerreotype Experience at the Palo Alto Visitor Center.

Put on a U.S.-Mexican War uniform and have your daguerreotype taken.

See reproduction daguerreotypes and "develop" your own daguerreotypes.

Photos from the Palo Alto Photo Contest will be displayed and winners announced at noon. The event is free and open to the general public. Refreshments available.
